Cromwell Police Department received 3rd place in the municipal category for our combined efforts in
traffic enforcement, training, and public awareness.
Chief Anthony J. Salvatore of the Cromwell Police Department announces that to allow for speedy and efficient snow removal during the winter season, the Cromwell Police Department will be strictly enforcing the Town's Parking Ordinances.
Parking is prohibited on any public street or highway for longer than one hour between the hours of 3:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. Parking is also prohibited on any street or highway during an ice, snow, sleet or hail storm that has been in progress for one hour.
Chief Salvatore reminds those who violate Parking Ordinances, "that there is a chance of a $25.00 fine, plus towing and storage charges, if necessary."
The Winter Parking Ban will be in effect from November 15, 2011 to April 15, 2012.No Leaves in Roadway
Chief Anthony J. Salvatore of the Cromwell Police Department announces that, because of the fall season and in preparation for leaf pickup, he reminds all property owners, or their landscapers, obstructing or endangering motorists by the placement of leaves within the roadway is a violation. In addition, this can also cause problems during rainstorms with drainage along the curb line, as well as additional clogging of storm drains with leaves causing flooding.
Chief Salvatore is informing the public that by allowing the placement of leaves in the roadway, they are in violation of Connecticut General Statutes, as well as Town Ordinance, which carries a $50.00 per day fine, as well as other costs.
In addition to the above fine, property owners are advised that, by placing leaves in the roadway, they may be liable for any costs or damages which may occur as a result of such action.
